CHICKEN FRIED STEAK (NO, WAIT THAT'S DEER FRIED STEAK)
When we cut our deer loins up for steaks, we cube them with a machine. So, actually it is tenderized twice, where the pattern on meat is cubed. I got tired of just the same old thing ,so I thought, why not try this? Glad I did.

Steps:
- 1. Beat together the egg & milk. Set aside.
- 2. Lay meat, a few pieces at a time, on counter. Take a small cast iron skillet, or other skillet that is not rounded on bottom, & with the bottom edge of the pan, slightly flatten the meat. So, if the meat was 1/2" thick to start with, flatten to about 1/4".
- 3. Place the deer steak in egg mixture.
- 4. Place the flour in sorta deep bowl to prevent a mess.
- 5. Remove the meat from mix, one piece at a time, & shake off excess liquid & place in flour mixture. With hands, cover both sides of meat with flour & press it onto it. Shake off excess & place on a piece of wax paper. Repeat with all pieces of meat. Do not stack.
- 6. Heat 1/4" canola oil in cast iron skillet or whatever you fry in. Heat on med-high heat.
- 7. As you place the meat in the fryer, re-dip in your flour first & shake off excess.
- 8. Place in hot oil & fry until golden brown on one side, flip & repeat on other side.
- 9. Drain on paper towels. Salt & pepper on top. Serve hot with mashed potatoes & white gravy.
- 10. This has absolutely no deer taste. It tastes just like the normally chicken fried steak without the gristle & added fat.

Steps:
- 1. Soak venison steaks in ice cold salt water for ½ hour to 1 hour prior to cooking. Place flour in a large bowl and add salt & pepper, mix together. In another bowl beat eggs with milk.
- 2. Place oil in skillet (you want about 1" of oil in the skillet) and heat to medium high, you want to cook the steaks fast and have them sizzling when you first drop them in, but not hot enough to burn them quickly.
- 3. Drain venison steaks and salt & pepper them well, then dip them in egg wash and cover each steak with flour (I usually do this twice per steak, egg wash then flour, to get a lot of coating on it), then drop into hot skillet and cook until golden brown on each side (hint, don't flip steaks the first time until the bottom is crispy, you will lose coating).
- 4. Drain on paper towels and serve with some southern home-made fixins: Mashed potatoes, milk gravy, fried okra, collard greens, buttered corn and cornbread!
Tips:
- Use fresh deer meat for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Soak the deer meat in buttermilk or milk for several hours or overnight to help tenderize it.
- Use a meat mallet or tenderizer to pound the deer meat until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Season the deer meat with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dip the deer meat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Shallow fry the deer meat in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the deer meat with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.
Conclusion:
Chicken fried deer steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The deer meat is tender and flavorful, and the crispy breading adds a nice touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
